With accurate and quick detection of nitrate levels in agricultural fields, farmers can reduce over-fertilization. About 35% of applied fertilizer is wasted due to over application and runoff due to water. Plants can absorb only limited amounts. US farmers on an average spend over $12 billion annually on fertilizers, so the potential savings are close to $4 billion.
Spry Sensors LLC is developing sensors for the agricultural market with a unique sensing material along with the ergonomic electronics to make nitrate sensing fast, reliable and accurate. Our goal is to enable quick, inexpensive, accurate, and on-site testing of nitrate levels in the soil. It will help reduce pollution from fertilizer runoff and would create significant economic savings to our farmers. It would also help reduce groundwater pollution caused by excessive nitrates that flow from farmlands to streams, rivers and lakes.
Billions of dollars are spent globally on over-fertilizing fields. With accurate and quick results, intermittent testing could mitigate over-fertilization. Spry Sensors is working on an accurate monitoring solution for testing nitrate levels in the field with quick results. Your feedback will be invaluable in designing the final product for the greatest benefit to farmers.
